UK grocery prices
What groceries cost in the UK this week
Britain has no official published average for grocery unit prices, so Lowtein computes one: the median across Sainsbury's, ALDI, Morrisons, Waitrose, Ocado and the independents, in 8 cities. Put this week's offers beside it and you can see which ones are genuinely below what the shelf normally asks.
